$366.7 million Powerball jackpot won in VermontReply
People mention that statistic about Indiana quite often, but remember that the jackpot was won several times in Indiana at a time when Powerball was just played in smaller states (which was in fact the entire reason for creating the game), and Indiana was among the biggest states participating. A much better look at which states most often sell winning tickets would be the time since the Powerball/Mega Millions cross-selling agreement. You can see the results of that in one of our feature v

Lottery winner has days to collect millionsReply
I really should collect my Indiana winnings... which I bought in Indiana... even though I've never been to Indiana. Chances are the person who bought the ticket didn't check his ticket correctly, never checked it at all, misplaced it, or just lost it. There goes $2.5M or about $800,000 after taxes, quite a tidy sum. Oh well.

How about going to balls so that people have some confidence in the system. As u all know, Indiana House Resolution 1521 failed because it

Missouri Lottery Ignites Controversy with Computerized DrawingsReply
Residents of Big Mo should watch for an upcoming announcement stating that live drawings will no longer be broadcast due to lack of player interest. That's how it happened in Indiana, except that Indiana actually downloaded their RNG from a public site on the internet.Security for these machines is considerably less bulletproof than for the ball machines. In my home state, one of our official draw machines is actually housed at one of the Hoosier Lottery's vendors, Scientific Games, Inc. Oddly,
